EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: In this photo print, we are transported back to the exciting era of early aviation. The image showcases Joan Hughes, a remarkable woman who defied societal norms by becoming a test pilot and instructress at the Airways Flying Club in White Waltham during the 1910s. It is fascinating to note that while "Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines" may be the title of a new film by 20th Century-Fox, it was actually Joan Hughes who tested one of five aeroplanes being constructed for the movie's depiction of this period. Captured in April 1964, this snapshot portrays Joan taking control of a replica Demoiselle aircraft as it gracefully takes flight. Her courage and skill shine through as she fearlessly navigates the skies above England's airfields and workshops dotted around the country. This photograph not only pays homage to an incredible moment in aviation history but also celebrates women like Joan Hughes who broke barriers and paved the way for future generations. As we admire this image from Memory Lane Prints, let us remember those magnificent men and women whose passion for flight propelled humanity into uncharted territories of innovation and exploration during the 20th century.
